What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess gender disparities in speech outcomes among patients who have undergone total laryngectomy and are using a tracheoesophageal prosthesis (TEP). The research will involve multiple institutions and will evaluate both subjective and objective measures of voice and speech quality. The hypothesis is that female patients will experience poorer outcomes compared to male patients. Various assessment scales will be utilized to capture a comprehensive view of the speech rehabilitation process and its impact on quality of life.
